HARNESS-PAD.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 357,981, dated February15, 1887.

Application filed June .26. 1886. Serial No. 206,297.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD T. CovELL, a citizen of the United States,residing at New Bedford, in the county of Bristol and State ofMassachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inHarness-Pads; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full,clear, and exact description of the same, ref erence being had to theannexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to theletters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a top plan view of my improved harnesspad;Fig. 2, a longitudinal section thereof, and Fig. 3 an under side planview of the pad.

The present invention has relation to the construction of pads forharness, and the object thereof is to provide a pad which will be bothlight and durable and will not chafe or gall the animal, and in manyrespects superior to the pads in ordinary use, which objects I attain bythe construction substantially as shown in the drawings, and hereinafterdescribed and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, a represents a covering of leather for thelining b of the (N0 model.)

for such class of pads, is especially adapted for the purpose, it havingmany advantages not found in other metals.

The leather covering a and sheet-metal lining b are firmly securedtogether by a binding, 0, preferably of leather, said bindingoverlapping the edges of the covering and lining and secured thereto bystitching or in any wellknown manner, and the upper side of the pad isprovided with a suitable fastening device, (I, for attaching it to somepart of the harness, whereby thepad is held in position onthe animal. Aharness-pad is thereby provided complete in itself that is both durableand effective and comparatively light, while it can be manufactured andplaced in the market at a greatly-reduced cost.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is-

A harness-pad consisting of a lining of white metal having a polishedsurface, a leather covering therefor, and a binding secured around theedges of the lining and covering to hold them together, said pad havinga suitable fastening device for securing it in position on the animal,substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my namein the presence of two witnesses.
